I was just wondering if there was any plan to send a system message at some point when a system font or appearance setting changes so apps can respond immediately?

I think a simple B_LOOK_CHANGED message would be all that would be needed, though you could always go all out and have a B_FONT_CHANGED, B_DECOR_CHANGED, B_COLOR_CHANGED, etc... but I think I prefer a generic B_LOOK_CHANGED message broadcast directly to running applications.

Wouldn't be difficult to setup, obviously, but each app would have to be modified to adjust properly, though just making sure layout can self-adjust should take care of most of the work.

Just wondering,
